Hey Bob,
This is really hard for me to write but I feel like I need to do so in order to get some peace of mind. I met with you and Bill last week and we had a nice meeting but I don't think I was very clear on one very important point, I should have let both you and Bill know that I have no intention of becoming an active publisher again. I will not be going to meetings and I do not have it in me to go out in service.
I am dealing with a lot of things right now and feel like staying away for a while, it amazes me that I had to miss the memorial before someone noticed that something was "wrong" with me, the meeting we had last week was much too little much too late, I told A**** that my heart hasn't been in this for a long time and I meant it. I have my reasons for not coming to meetings and I hope you can respect my decision.
I don't want any sheperding calls and I would like for you to inform both the elders in W***** and in E.****** that they are not to visit me at work. I had a visit at work yesterday and I had to explain to my boss why I was handling personal buissness at work, this is not to happen again.
I need to think about a lot of things and would like to be left alone for a while, I know where the Kingdom hall is and will come back when I feel like I am ready and I don't know when that will be.
Thank you for your time.
Umm I don't think the elders will like this very much. Oh well.

Right on, Lola.
Of course they will interpet this as an invitation to "help" you so you may have to send a version of this email a couple of times more... -

They already sent an elder (spy) to your WORK??? dirty rats.
edit: OMG, I just went and found your other thread about the visit. You poor thing. I'm sorry. This goes way beyond too little too late. It's like they sent the lynch mob after you. -

Sent already? I would have added that your boss does not want them to visit you there again either. They may not respect your request, but they will more likely respect his, being a man and not a JW.
Hope they listen.

PS Anyone visiting me has to have the reception desk call me first to authorize it. A cold day in hell when any elders visit me.
